This is a great freewrite. You really put together a lot of thoughts in one cohesive writing. Oddly enough, as much as I loathe smoking cigarettes and hate to even be near it, I do find the photography of smoke to be fascinating. I like how you captured the meaning of the rituals behind it too.
Also, I am here helping @mariannewest with freewrites today:
Here is Prompt 105
Thanks for writing with us!

Thanks for stopping by @byn and thanks for your kind words. Yeah, smoking really is ritualistic. Not a cigarette smoker myself (I was smoking weed in the pics, hehe) but the first time I watched someone dab I was struck by the very particular, very measured movements the person took.
And, already wrote about 'dem elephants ;)
